Working Process
Please compile all of your character/environment descriptions, references, requirements, etc. into a single slideshow or document (or an email if it's short). This helps me understand your requests more clearly.
Typically, 2-4 sketches and 2-3 editing rounds are included in the base price, depending on the size of work. Extra sketching or editing during the process is charged by an additional hourly rate. Progress updates are sent at least once a week.
You will receive the final illustration JPG/PNG and PSD at 4k resolution (~4000 px). Please let me know if you require a larger file size.
